The good news, Tommy, is that after she dumps you, you still get to work together

The word bubbles are outlined in broken lines today, which is something I don't recall ever seeing previously. Does this indicate that the Battling Babes are whispering? Maybe they're speaking in another language, or in pig Latin - ? If I were that customer, I'd be tempted to brain both of them with that bottle of ketchup, or fling the bag of Tidy Cat at them. Take your argument someplace else!
HelenClark, now that I have my contact lenses in, I see that it is wne, not a super giant bottle of ketchup. She can still smack the Babes, though. If Freda was on the premises, she could fire them on the spot. Then they'd both take a break - from employment.
Like KitKat, I noticed the broken lines on the word bubbles, and wondered if it indicated a whispered conversation. As a customer, I’d find a whispered conversation between staff members more unnerving than a vocal argument. I’d imagine it was about a rat infestation in the bakery, or maybe a mad cow outbreak at the hamburger supplier.
Having worked in a food store throughout college, I don't believe for a second that this sort of Tommy-Brandy breakup/emotional verbal spillage could ever occur. An alert manager would put this to a stop quickly. Customers would stand aghast or even chime in with snark (Are you two done yet?) Just not happening like this! Oops, we're in the Worthiverse...oops yeah, all the time.
I'm surprised to see people asking whether dashed-line word balloons indicate whispering. Yes, they do! That used to be standard practice in comics, like dashed-line human figures being invisible. Sheesh! Don't you know anything?
Okay, I realize I have no right to feel superior in my knowledge. I'm always having to consult Acronym-Finder to figure out what the kids on the interwebs are talking about.
Manager: (not Freda. Freda hasn’t been seen since 1967). What’s all the ruckus? Get back to stocking shelves, Timmy. Tommy: It’s Tommy... Manager: Like I care. Just keep your personal business out of my store. Customer: The girl said he’s on drugs! Manager: I got zero tolerance for that! You’re outta here, Toby! Tommy: It’s Tommy! Toby is the drunk lady at my apartment complex... Brandy: Oh No! I didn’t mean... Manager: Just get these people checked out, Bunny! And why are you crying milk tears? Are you sick? Brandy (sniffling): It’s Brandy... Manager: So he’s a druggie and you’re a drunk? Both of you, out! Now, Ma’am, let’s get your groceries checked. Find everything all right?
Tommy and Brandy hang up their aprons and leave Freda’s forever.
Tommy: hey, Babe, want to grab a bite at Jerry’s Sandwich shop?
Huzzah, fauxprof! I bet June would rather illustrate your dialogue than KM’s twaddle. I wonder if there actually is a Freda, or if she’s like Betty Crocker.
How is Brandy acquainted with “known druggie” Vin? Is he Public Enemy Number One in Santa Royale? Was Brandy’s father also one of Vin’s “old friends”?
If Santa Royale wasn’t protected by a pandemic bubble, coronavirus would be spreading like crazy at Freda’s.
My worst supermarket check-out experience (at Giant Eagle) was when some chubby teen-aged male employee of undetermined position was ardently flirting with a cute little teen-aged cashier while I was visibly -- and almost audibly -- rolling my eyes to no effect. I mean, I get it, and it's sweet and all. But just not on my time, okay Romeo?

KitKat, I think that’s June’s depiction of a lonely cat lady. Cat litter, cat food, and her own dinner of chips and cheap grocery store wine.
Note to June: Next time you want to use my image, you might ask permission!
HelenClark
It's almost as if she's not listening to him.

Are stockboys with a criminal record permitted behind the register...oh look, money!

They are crying and arguing about who is and isn't on crack right at the cash register?
I like the background customers who are all trying to ignore that incredibly awkward situation. I wonder why the manager hasn't stopped them.

Tommy: It’s Tommy...

Ha haaaaaa! Great stuff, fauxprof!
